I was talking about frequency of crashes more than anything and SantaCruz got more help to recover than your average top 5 planet normally would in fairness (you would go as far to say that some xVx cared more about him winning than their tag). Never mind the fact that he had a healthy lead before that crash by virtue of not crashing in any case.

I've pretty much grown to dislike the strategies deployed to get a planet to #1. Way, WAY too much escorting and people roiding planets where effort has been selectively applied with regards to defence. They talk about these victims being angry, but no serious player is ever annoyed at losing a tick of roids because in the grand scheme of things it's toss all. What's worse is that a lot of the contenders for #1 planet are guilty of it (and some of them have probably been Ascendancy) and they're just devaluing the achievement by doing so.

Does anyone here seriously doubt that if it's two planets fighting for #1 it won't be down to who has the most friends to attack the other planet and will acquiesce to be roided so they can help their favoured planet win? The first strategy is pretty shit (particularly if they are both in the same alliance), the second is just cheating with a made up alibi which the MH have no choice but to accept. But I'd say to be in the ballpark of even thinking of getting to #1 my points are still valid.
